GARY â The Gary Community School Corp. closed two more offers on vacant buildings over winter break, adding to the 14 sales negotiated by the district within the last year.
Horace Mann High School and Ralph Waldo Emerson School were sold to the Gary Housing Authority for $5,000 each, according to an updated GCSC list of building sales.
In its sales, the district included the transfer of neighboring Vohr Elementary with Horace Mann, and Spaulding Elementary with nearby Emerson.
The finalized sales bring the districtâs total properties sold over the last year to 16 â moving the financially distressed corporation closer to its goal of shedding ownership of dozens of abandoned properties that city leaders have labeled as a blight to their community.

Ethan Ferba had big plans for the offseason.
The Hobart diver got a taste of competing against the best when he finished 26th at the IHSAA state swimming and diving competition last February in Indianapolis.
When Ferba returned to Northwest Indiana, he sat down with Hobart diving coach Katharine Rinas and the two put together a summer workout plan that would allow the then-sophomore to take his diving to the next level.
Then COVID-19 hit and pools around the Region shutdown, including Hobartâs sparkling new swim facility.
âWhen everything with COVID happened, it was bad,â Ferba said. âWe had a whole summer planned out for workouts. It made all those plans go away.â
